THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE FORMULA

This is age-defying retinol with a performance-enhancing twist
DANIEL ISAACS Chief Product OfficerWhen retinol is applied to the skin, it is converted to retinoic acid (the active form of vitamin A). This active form helps to support collagen production and prevent its breakdown, for more youthful-looking skin over time. It can also help reboot the skin’s natural exfoliation cycle to improve the look of uneven skin tone and texture. Within Intelligent Retinol, retinol's performance is enhanced by climbazole, a breakthrough ingredient in vitamin A technology that has been proven to boost the activity of retinol by blocking the enzymes which break down retinoic acid in the skin.* The result is supercharged visible results, without the common irritating downsides of other vitamin A formulas.

FAQS
-
Can I use Intelligent Retinol while pregnant or breastfeeding?
+As a cosmetics company, we are unable to provide product advice in relation to medical conditions such as pregnancy or breastfeeding. We strongly recommend discussing the ingredients with your GP or midwife before use. We do, however, generally recommend avoiding vitamin A use while pregnant or breastfeeding. -
When and how should I apply Intelligent Retinol?
+Intelligent Retinol should only be applied as part of your evening regime. After cleansing in the evening, massage 4 drops evenly across face, neck and décolletage. Follow with a moisturiser. -
Can I use Intelligent Retinol alongside vitamin C formulas?
+Absolutely. In fact we recommend it as part of our pioneering CSA Philosophy which champions vitamin C plus sunscreen by day, vitamin A by night as the simple secret to glowing, youthful-looking skin. -
What's the difference between Intelligent Retinol and Crystal Retinal?
+The main difference is that Intelligent Retinol is formulated with retinOL, whereas Crystal Retinal is formulated with next-generation retinAL. While retinol is a great option for vitamin A beginners, retinal is proven to work up to 11x faster than standard retinol in delivering visible age-defying results.*
